Update on the Bottom-Up Local Input and Envisioning Process for the 2020 RTP/SCS and RHNA + Future Funding Opportunities KOME AJISE Director of Planning October 2018
2020 RTP/SCS - What s Different this Time? More aggressive GHG target (19% vs. 13% in 2016) MAP-21/FAST Act performance measures & target setting Two New Federal Planning Factors: Improving resiliency and reliability of transportation system & reducing or mitigating stormwater impacts of transportation Enhancing travel and tourism More outreach Activity-based model implementation Coordination with Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) Ever changing and fast paced technology & innovation landscape
RTP/SCS Key Questions: What Kind of Future? What type of transportation network should we have? How should be prioritizing our limited transportation revenue? How bold should we be in identifying new revenue sources or rethinking our current funding structure? Where should new growth be located? How can we best balance mobility, public health, natural systems, and economic development?? What can we achieve together that we cannot achieve as individual cities or counties? What do community members view as important for a bright and sustainable future?
Bottom-Up Local Input and Envisioning Process Data Package for Local Review and Input Current and Future Population, Households, Employment Existing and Planned Land Use, Local Transportation Infrastructure, Resource Areas, Potential Infill Parcels Sustainability Best Practices, Transit Supportive Measures
Bottom-Up Local Input and Envisioning Process Growth Forecast Methodology SCAG first convened a panel of expert economists and demographers to identify likely regional and county level growth through 2045 (the horizon year of our plan) County level growth was then broken down to each jurisdiction based on recent trends and input received from jurisdictions in the previous RTP/SCS Current and Future Population, Households, Employment Anticipated population, households, and employment was then allocated at the neighborhood (e.g. TAZ) level based upon local existing land use and general plan land use
Bottom-Up Local Input and Envisioning Process Outreach to Date 197 Letters and Work Plans Distributed to Local Jurisdictions 197 80 One-on-One Meetings Jurisdictions Offered On-Site Technical Assistance 21 Subregional Presentations 19 Regional and Classroom-Style Trainings 1 City Council Study Session
SCAG s Draft Data/Map Books are available at http://scagrtpscs.net/pages/datamapbooks.aspx
Deadline to Submit Input to SCAG October 1 st, 2018
Next Steps: 6 th RHNA Cycle and Beyond Anticipated RHNA Schedule Fall 2018 Summer 2019 Winter 2020 Oct 2020 Oct 2021 Establish RHNA Subcommittee HCD Regional Determination Draft RHNA Allocation Final RHNA Allocation Local Housing Element Update (October 2021- October 2029) Final RTP/SCS Apr 2020
Next Steps: 6 th Cycle RHNA The Next Regional Housing Need Determination is Expected to be Higher! Market conditions have changed (less vacancy) Recent legislation required additional factors to be considered (AB 1086) Overcrowding New legislation may require additional factors (SB 828, AB 1771)
Next Steps: Sustainable Communities Strategy Planning Director Task Force: SCAG plans to engage with Planning Directors throughout the region to gain input on growth scenarios, SCS strategies and policies Public Outreach: SCAG will be launching public facing outreach activities related to scenario planning and SCS strategy development More details coming this Fall 2018!
